You could call your local hospital and find out the cost.  If you have a Not for Profit hospital in your area they might do an x-ray.  You will just have to do some research to find one that gives discounts for people without insurance.  I don't think smoking marijuana is healthier than cigarettes.  They are both unhealthy.

Smoking is smoking, no matter what brand you smoke.  You can request a chest x-ray when you see your doctor. With all of the symptoms you have described, I am sure a doc would agree to it.  It would put your mind at ease.  Good Luck and God Bless.
